Lalu Prasad’s elder son and Bihar Health Minister Tej Pratap Yadav sent a spectacular anti-pollution message on Christmas day by personally riding a horse in Patna.

He reportedly emerged from his parents bungalow at 10 circular rode wearing jeans and on top of a brown stallion. As he gently trotted to his residence at 5, Deshratna Marg, his security personnel followed him on foot and on horseback, reports The Hindu.

Tej Pratap Yadav told reporters that it was a symbolic ride to send out a message on the need to reduce air pollution on Christmas day.
“There is so much pollution and traffic jams because of so many vehicles… its better to ride a horse,” The Hindu quoted him saying.

Let it be placed on record Tej Pratap Yadav returned to his parents house in a car.

He had earlier hit the headlines during the oath taking ceremony. Bihar Governor Ram Nath Kovind had made him take oath twice after he fumbled on a few words.
